Kevin Brockmeier takes on an in depth view of The Poser while he summarizes it. Brockmeier hints at the possibility of Giovanni’s mother pushing him further into being an impressionist. The quotes from the book that he gives truly proves this point by observing that it shows how her interest in impressions and threads causes a lasting influence on Giovanni. Furthermore, Brockmeier focuses on the fact that Giovanni wants to live the life of someone else instead of being himself. He uses context from the text to prove his point by using a quote from the novel in which Giovanni conveys how he wants to live the life of a ticket seller. I believe Brockmeier legitimately proves how much Giovanni tries to be anything but himself throughout the story.
